windows 11 support for 7th gen intel cpu
Yeah, what you are telling is absolutely right windows 11 has come with more visual and performance changes and why don't 7th gen support windows 11 I don't know and intel even released graphics driver for windows 11 for 7th gen cpu. Why to release graphics driver if it doesn't support windows 11 . I am also having one more doubt in windows 7 compatible list the processor's with 5th gen are supporting windows 7 and not older generation like 1st and 2nd but when windows 7 released in 2009 there were no i3 i5 and i7. which were released next year of release of windows 7. hope Microsoft should consider 7th gen to windows 11 list philippbaumgartner1999

7th gen CPU is in Testing period for compatibility.
So, no one can tell you at this point in time whether it will DEFINITLY SUPPORTED or not.
If you so desperate to upgrade to Window 11,
You can register to window Insider program (Beta Channel). Window 11 will be delivered to you via window update.
I also get win11 this way. (and YES, i am also using 7th gen CPU and it running fine.)
But, of cause, if one day, your PC break or going wild because of this , it's all on your own responsibility.
Take it at your own risk
